Top SchoolKyrylo Kniazev is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and leading backend services across finance and AI-focused product companies in the UK. He blends hands-on Python development with technical and small-team leadership, shipping features, designing specifications, and improving authentication and forecasting integrations at DataRobot and Citi. His work spans microservices, async Python, Flask, message queues, and cloud-native ETLs, with a track record of measurable performance improvements (e.g., cutting OAuth2 latency and overhead). Comfortable toggling between IC and people-lead responsibilities, he runs 1:1s, interviews candidates, and guides code and spec reviews.
